15 weeks pg. In agony with infected gum from wisdom tooth. Been to the emergency dentist today and he told me as it was a nasty infection I should take metronidazole and amoxicillin at the same time. I already took amoxicillin 3 months ago for a bladder infection and didnt finish the course because I discovered I was pg and I got terrible thrush.
The pharmacist was really unhappy about giving me metronidazole as it's contra-indicated for pg.
This pain I am in is extreme. Been taking just the amoxicillin today with the max dose of paracetamol.
My plan is to hold off on the metronidazole until tommorow to reassess the situation and hopefully the amoxicillin will do the trick.
I see from the label that each amoxicillin is 250g and the leaflet says for serious infection take 500g at once. DO you think I should try to double dose on the amoxicillin and hope that avoids me having to take the other one?
Anyone here who can help?
